Hi I’m a senior who was recently admitted to NYU Tandon. I’ve visited there but to be frank I’m not sure if I want to be there
in fact now that I’m admitted in I’m not really sure if I want to major in engineering at all. So my plan is to apply for transfer to NYU CAS for my sophomore year and then to apply for transfer to Columbia or other similar schools for my Junior year. How likely do you think this is in terms of possibility.
*Also for Tandon due to my AP credits I can afford to not take a good chunk of first year classes but Columbia or other schools require 24 credits for transfer. Will this be admitted in or no? If not would you recommend that I take the classes anyway?
Anyone with any knowledge regarding the matter please help and give me some recommendations as to what I would do to accomplish my goals!
Also please note that I’m not looking to transfer to these schools because of prestige.
My goal is to go to med school and I don’t think I can accomplish that in NYU Tandon engineering and with application process getting harder and harder every year I want to provide myself with the best opportunities
